== Protocol ==
The device registers on the USB host as a HID-class device ("Boot Interface" subclass), see [[Victor_70C/Info#lsusb|lsusb]]. Note: The USB/HID chip is ''in the multimeter'' (not in the USB cable/connector) for this device. The device is connected to the PC using a standard USB cable (without any internal logic/chip).
The protocol payload is 14 bytes of data which can be read from endpoint 1, at no more than 1 Hz.
The 14-byte chunk is somewhat obfuscated. To deobfuscate, subtract the ASCII value of the following string from each of the 14 bytes in turn: '''<code>jodenxunickxia</code>'''. Then reshuffle the bytes into different positions, according to the following table:
{| border="0" width="50%" style="font-size: smaller" class="alternategrey sigroktable"
|-
| Original position
| &nbsp;0
| &nbsp;1
| &nbsp;2
| &nbsp;3

The deobfuscated payload is then structured as follows:

Victor 70C

The Victor 70C is a 4000 counts, CAT II handheld digital multimeter with USB connectivity. It is also sold as the EZA EZ-735.

See Victor 70C/Info for more details (such as lsusb -vvv output) about the device.

The USB protocol this device uses to communicate with the PC is documented on the Victor protocol page.

Hardware

Note: the USB/HID chip is in the multimeter (not in the USB cable/connector) for this device. The device is connected to the PC using a standard USB cable (without any internal logic/chip).
